Painting on second-hand clothing — an upcycling workshop on the Plateau

Turn a thrifted garment into wearable art — a hands-on, sustainable painting workshop in Montréal.

Give second-hand clothes a second life. In this hands-on workshop on the Plateau (4455 rue Saint-Denis), a professional artist guides you to paint and customize a thrifted garment — a jacket, a tote, a pair of jeans — into a unique, wearable piece. It's creative, sustainable, and a brilliant activity for a group of friends, a birthday or a team outing.

No experience needed — just bring a garment (or use one of ours) and leave with art you can wear.
